The Nike Cortez revival in 2017 is coming to a close, but not without a bang. Kendrick Lamar’s collaboration with Nike has surfaced, featuring a red, white, and black colorway, “Don’t Trip” applied to a ribbon that runs down the tongue, and Chinese lettering embroidered onto the forefoot of the shoes (surely a riff off his “Kung Fu Kenny” alter ego). It’s not yet clear when a release will go down, although earlier previews have suggested a drop occurring this month. Stay tuned for updates as these may go down as one of the year’s best collaborations.
